Auchtermuchty



Jason Hoffman was back at Auchtermuchty for a couple of days working on some bits and pieces that we couldn't finish in November because of the snow and freezing temperatures.

The arch and big wall are looking fine - the stone is now all nice and clean too.

The landscaping guys are finally laying the patio slabbing too (there was still snow on the site last week so everything on this job has been delayed.

He has our good friend and Canadian stone mason/waller Andre Lemieux staying and working with him for a few days. He's been in Wales working with Sean Adcock, learning to work with the rough stone there. He's now with me trying to get his head around Whinstone and sandstone, and is heading up to stay with George Gunn in Thurso later this week for some Caithness stone problem solving. Jason says he thinks he's having fun!
